C
Ribosomes
D
Nucleus
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic structure of prokaryotic cells: Prokaryotic cells are simpler than eukaryotic cells and do not have membrane-bound organelles.
Identify the structures listed in the problem: Mitochondria, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Ribosomes, and Nucleus.
Recall that mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and nucleus are membrane-bound organelles, which are typically found in eukaryotic cells, not prokaryotic cells.
Recognize that ribosomes are not membrane-bound and are present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, as they are essential for protein synthesis.
Conclude that among the given options, ribosomes are the structure found in prokaryotic cells.
